After running onto the pitch, he stopped to speak with two England players before he was detained.

He was arrested by local police after entering the field of play and held in custody overnight before being fined €200 (£175).

The next day he tweeted: "€200 fine, probably a life-time ban, a night in lockup and a one-year ban from Malta! Oh well it was worth it."

PC Mark Wood, from Cambridgeshire Constabulary, said: "The use of social media in this way should be discouraged - it is important that others do not follow his example and understand the consequences of such actions."
